IMPROVEMENT IN LAND-ROLLERS.

TO ALL WHOM 1'1. MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that l, GEORGE 1t. BURT, of Perry, in the county of Wyoming, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Land-Rollers; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull,

clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same,-

reference being had to the :iccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in whieh- Figure 1 is a top or plan view of my in'ipro'red roller,

Figure 2 is an end view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

My invention has for its object to so improve the construction of land-rollers as to make them more convenient and effective in operation; and it consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of the frame, shaft, and cylinders with each other, in the combination of the castcnroller with the frame of the machine, in the combination of the, springdirake with the frame of the driver's seat, and in the manner in which the tongue is attached to the frame.

A is the frame of the roller, which is made with three crossbars a, a", and a, one at each end and one at the centre. To the forward ends of the cress-lxtrs (6 a", and a, are secured two longitudinal bars a and a at a little distance from each other, and connected to each other by cross and bracohars, as shown in fig. 1. To the rear ends of the cross-bars a, and as, are attached two longitudinal bars rt" and (a connected to each other by cross and brace-bars, as shownin fig. 1. ills the roller shaft, which extends from end to end of the frame A, and revolves in bearings in the middle parts of the cross-bar's a e and is. C are the cylinders, which are formed by attachin timbers u, made in the proper form, to wheels (1" attached to the shaft B between the cross-pieces and a and between the pieces a and 11"",ar; shown in figs. 1 and 2. The cylinders C are further strengthened by iron hands 1), placed upon their ends, firmly binding the timbers c to the wheels 0'. E is acaster-roller, pivoted to the rear part of the frame A, in such a position as to roll the ground left uni-oiled between. thevinner ends of the cylinders C. F the seat-frame, attached to the rear part of the frame A, and to which the seat Gis attached. To the forward part of the frame F is attached one end of a spring, H, the other end of which extends upward and forward, and has a crossbar, 1, attached to it, to the ends of which are attached the brakeshoes J, the bar I being of such a length that; one of the said l'nal;esi1ocs may act upon one cylinder, and the other upon the other. The brake is applied by the driver pre 11 upon the ear I with his foot. To the frontpart of the frame A, directly over the or -'-bar (F, are attached two cross-bars K, between which is pivoted the tongue by which the roller is drawn and guided. L are boxes formed upon the frame A, between the bars a" and a7, and between the bars 1 and 11 into which ntoncs or other heavy material may be put to regulate the pressure of the roller.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letter Patent- .l. The rollers C when provided with the flanges or bands in, upon the inner ones of which the bra-lies J hear, as herein set forth the par-nose specified.

2. The eastera'olli-r 7. in combination with the rolier flanges or rims l), and brakes J, as herein shown and described.

The combination of lac spring-brake 11 I J with the scat-frame F, and cylinders C, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose set forth.

-l-. The roll rs (F twlien susp nded fr m the same shaft i3, beneath the frame A, constructed as herein described.
